The journey
Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of Botswana's Okavango Delta on a 5-day fly-in safari based at Camp Xakanaxa in the heart of Moremi Game Reserve. From the moment you land at Xakanaxa Airstrip, your lodge guide meets you for a scenic 4x4 transfer that doubles as your first game-viewing experience. Enjoy a flexible, lodge-led rhythm of early morning and afternoon activities, combining classic land game drives with motorised boat safaris through channels and lagoons - one of the few places offering rewarding wildlife viewing by both land and water year-round. Between adventures, relax at camp during siesta time, then return for afternoon tea, sunset outings, and memorable dinners in the bush.
At a glance
Day by day
Your light aircraft lands at the Xakanaxa Airstrip, where a professional lodge guide will be waiting for you with an open 4x4 safari vehicle.
The drive from the airstrip to Camp Xakanaxa takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes. This transfer is fully inclusive and acts as your very first mini game drive.
The lodge tracks your flight charter schedule directly, so you do not need to arrange a specific pickup time.
The ancient riverine forests, open savannah, serpentine channels, and seasonal floodplains that surround the camp create a varied habitat of exceptional fauna and flora. The camp is one of the few offering a year-round land and water game-viewing experience.
Game drives - Morning and afternoon game drives explore the many different ecosystems that the Moremi Game Reserve has to offer.
Motorised boat safaris - Guided excursions take you through the deeper channels and lagoons of the Okavango Delta in hard-bottom aluminum boats. The boats are equipped with comfortable seats, a foldaway canvas roof, and life jackets.
Bird watching - Birding is quite spectacular, especially during spring and summer when the migrants breed.
